Google’s Blogger service has turned into one of the most popular blog publishing systems available. Thousands of people use the service pretty regularly, and over the last several years since Google acquired it, they’ve added some new features which make it even better. Just yesterday Blogger received a bunch of welcomed new features that their users are sure to love. Among the biggest changes:
If we had to pick two that we thought were the best improvements, it would probably be the embedded comment form and the new post editor with the drag-and-drop image placement. Both are features that users have requested for quite some time, and now they are available. To enable the new embedded comments, just go to your settings > comments > and then under “Comment form Placement,” select “embedded below post.”
We do need to point out that you have to be using Blogger in Draft to be able to use the new features. Just go to http://draft.blogger.com and log-in there an then check the box at the top that says “Make Blogger in Draft my default dashboard.” Blogger in Draft is where they make the new features available, for people to test when they aren’t quite ready for the masses at Blogger.
Overall the new features are fantastic and should make things quite a bit nicer for the authors and readers of Blogger blogs.

Google Keep stores its content in Drive, but it doesn’t pull content from Drive. That may change, however, as Google Operating System has spotted some unused Drive integration code within the Android app. They suggest that users could attach Drive files to their notes and either view them directly or open them in third-party software. Media hounds wouldn’t have to upload video, though — there’s mention of embedding YouTube clips. The code doesn’t guarantee that Keep will be file-savvy in the near future, but it does show that Google is at least considering such an upgrade.

Now that Google has finished updating its Map app’s UI, the company can focus on the finer details: navigation, documentation and monetization. The Android app’s latest update tweaks hotel search results by adding sponsored rate and booking links, which places a tiny “ad” icon next to services that paid for exposure. Navigation has been also been improved, with better traffic and route information, and the side menu now has a “tips and tricks” option that inelegantly opens a maps help page in your device’s web browser. Check out the official update notes at the Google Play link below.

According to Google’s executive chairman Eric Schmidt, not much; this is just part of our society now.
